WHTI (105.7 FM) is a radio station licensed to Salem, West Virginia, serving the Clarksburg/Fairmont area. WHTI is owned and operated by LHTC Media.
The station (as WOBG-FM) previously broadcast an active rock format. WOBG-FM debuted in 1990 as “Oldies But Goodies”, playing hits from the late '50s through the late '70s. The station featured live, local DJs (“Doctor” Dan Terango hosting mornings, Don Niles with the afternoon drive, Marc Cristi, evenings) until 1995, when it switched to a syndicated oldies format. On January 22, 2018, the station changed its call sign to WHTI, and began stunting with the sound of crickets. On January 25, 2018, WHTI launched a top 40 (CHR) format, branded as "Hot 105.7". Following its sale to LHTC Media in September 2023, the station began simulcasting WZST's format under the Jack FM brand, with the "Hot" format moving to WGYE.[1][2]
On February 5, 2024, WHTI changed its format from a simulcast of adult hits-formatted WZST to a simulcast of conservative talk-formatted WMMN 920 AM Fairmont, branded as "The Torch".[3]
